To insert the yoghurt you can use a large 20ml syringe, you should be able to get one from the chemist or your local hospital may even give you a couple for free 9tell them what you want it for). Some swelling is not unusual however if there is no improvement by tomorrow it may be a good idea to pay a visit to your doctor.
I would get it properly diagnosed firstly! However I know when I have had it in pregnancy the 5 or 6 day treatment is the only one that works and keeps in away. Those overnight creams did nothing! With the 6 day one it cleared after about 3 days but you keep on using it till finished. I used the 'tablet' things and inserted them with a finger and not the applicator.
I've been getting it on and off this pg - seems to have settled down now, I hope!
I used the internal applicators - as my midwife said, no-one's really going to ram them up there, for comfort's sake, if nothing else!
I also (on advice) have taken to inserting acidophilous capsules inside - they dissolve and release good bacteria in the target area.
Trust me, I know how hideous it can be, especially when you develop lesions and you can barely walk and all you want to do is stay in bed to pretend it's not happening
okay, i think it may finally be clearing up a little.
still a tiny bit itchy, but a lot less, and inflamed are has gone down.
but silly me had sex with DP last night (sorry i couldnt wait any longer). he showered straight after, but now im worried he may pass it back onto me once ive cleared it.
also, is it normal for thrush to smell? I have an unusual odour, and wasnt sure if its the cream or the smell of the infection?
Thrush does have a smell...like a yeasty smell. You could always treat DP as well just to make sure it doesn't get passed back. Hope it clears up too I know how yuck it is!
